To configure the Sender Policy Framework (SPF) on a Linux BIND DNS server, you will need to create a DNS record for your domain. The SPF record specifies which mail servers are authorized to send mail on behalf of your domain.
Here's an example of how to create an SPF record in a BIND DNS configuration file:
example.com. IN TXT "v=spf1 a mx -all"
This SPF record specifies that the a
and mx
records for the example.com
domain are authorized to send mail. The -all
directive specifies that all other mail servers are not authorized to send mail for the domain.
You can also use the include
directive to include other domains in your SPF record. For example:
example.com. IN TXT "v=spf1 a mx include:otherdomain.com -all"
This SPF record specifies that the a
and mx
records for the example.com
domain and the otherdomain.com
domain are authorized to send mail.
Once you have created the SPF record, you will need to reload the BIND DNS server to apply the changes. You can use the rndc
command to reload the BIND DNS server:
rndc reload
